Pick one of the ready-made plates and make it your own. Here's how to build a balanced plate for diabetes: half vegetables, a quarter protein and a quarter carbs.

Tomato1 cup7.2 g
White fish, baked1 fillet0 g

If you eat legumes, count them in the carb quarter.
For mixed dishes (soups, stews), apply the same proportions to the ingredients.
